Coffee,shopping,chilling....

As I said yesterday,I had coffee with the exceptionally gorgeous Andrea.We met at Ecetera,on Edgeware Rd,a vintage store/coffee shop.They have some lovely things,but tend to be hopelessly overpriced.I did however buy a coat........Anyhow,we did have a lovely big coffee each,and yapped like maniacs,then fueled on caffiene,decided to go out for quick opshop.....

I came home with these 3 frocks.The centre and right frock are modern,and 50's inspired.The centre one is going to get a makeover.I feel it needs some pink ric rac and ribbon trim to give it some oomph,and make it unidentifiable as a chain store frock.The one on the left is 70's-I wasn't too sure about the frilly chest bit,but Andrea convinced me that it didn't make my boobies dominate the world,and then G confirmed it by loving it.

Hurrah!

This is what I wore.

So we come to Sunday.I had made a visit to the library during the week to stock up on books for one of our favourite things to do-sit in bed,drink coffee,and peruse coffee table books.Usually we look at interior design book,but we've read ours,and the library ones, to death,so I got a pile of fashion books,and a cookbook.I love cookbooks,especially beautifully presented ones with flash photography.I

A little later we did one of our other favourite things-went to a local open home.We've probably been in at least 40% of the neighbourhood houses,just being nosy parkers!!!

Then we popped across the road to take a couple of outfit pics.This is the coat I bought yesterday.
